Global Gourmet's Kitchen Remodel Series

1B
Before: The old kitchen's south wall, with cooktop,
sink, dishwasher, and raw wood cabinets.

9B
After: Same wall today, with ClimateZone refrigerator,
3 tall pantry cabinets and a walk-in utility closet at end
(not shown). A soffit was added to create a clean, uniform
look, especially where the crown molding meets it.

1C Before: The north wall of the old kitchen.

9CAfter: Two more tall cabinets run floor to ceiling; both contain electrical outlets for small appliances, which pull out for use on roll-out trays. The 5-foot countertop actually sits 2 inches lower than normal height, for easier pastry work. The interior cabinets with glass doors contain small halogen lights on dimmers.
